[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suck it up; you sound like a snob. Many families cram into a too small house for vacations. You are not being very gracious. If most of your friends have vacation homes; why is it that you are so strapped you cannot afford an additional vacation?[/quote]

OP here.  We have a vacation home, I did not want/intend to sound like a snob by announcing it.  I guess one can not care too much what others think.  The vacation home is the same distance and seemingly bigger (in space usage and layout, perhaps not actual square footage) with more amenities.  I have always offered it sincerely, along with listings for the area (cheaper) if they did not want to stay with us for any reason, they did not have to feel obligated.  Though everyone that stays with us returns, happily (for both sides).  It is an all around more positive and pleasant vacation experience - less depressing, in many ways.  It has (truly) world class golfing in the actual neighborhood, and that is what MIL enjoys, for example.  Not many things get MIL excited or enthusiastic, in fact, I can't think of anything at all.  You can walk to everything - safely.  For obvious reasons, I will not say where.  (It can not be Googled as such.  Our choice was deliberate, after too many so called "vacations" where sheeple tend to go.)  We like to be around positive.

Most of the grandchildren are grown, so they refuse to sleep together.  There are other issues that have been mentioned.  MIL refuses to allocate fairly, which is the real issue.  DH is thinking he might not go this year, so I am wondering what got into him, as we only discuss it when we are there.

For those who insist on trying to antagonize, we take our own vacations our own way and there are a huge range of accommodations.  We are in no way travel snobs who have to have the best of anything, and have clearly been good with money, as they say.  Again, I guess one can not care too much what others say or think.

Perhaps MIL is on this board?   :shock:  :D
